Notes from the landowner

Just a mile outside of Salmon, Idaho, this 0.6-mile stretch of the Lemhi River offers a quiet, rural escape with the convenience of being near town. The property is easy to access, with a well-marked path leading to the river. While overhanging trees and brush line much of the bank, anglers will find ample space to fish and several obvious holding spots along the river. Wading is generally manageable, though some crossings may be mildly challenging depending on seasonal flows.

This is a peaceful, private setting where you're unlikely to encounter other anglers, although under Idaho’s Stream Access Law, the public may navigate the river below the high-water mark. Wildlife is abundant here and visitors often report sightings of deer, elk, moose, and a wide variety of birds. This stretch offers a great mix of seclusion and convenience, making it ideal for a day trip or a longer stay.

***No signs are placed on this property at this time, you will need to leverage the Infinite Outdoors app to make sure of your location on the property.

Game and habitat information

The Lemhi River is a productive spring-fed system and an underrated Idaho trout fishery. On this stretch, anglers can expect to target healthy Rainbow Trout that frequently reach 16 inches or more. In the right conditions, there’s even the chance of spotting sea-run Steelhead or Salmon making their way from the Upper Salmon River.

The river features rocky bends, aquatic vegetation, and clear runs where fish hold in both deep pockets and undercut banks. Water clarity can fluctuate due to nearby agricultural activity but typically remains fishable throughout the season. This is a highly versatile stretch that supports dry fly, nymph, and streamer fishing.

Seasonal Hatch Overview:

Early Spring: Midges and early mayflies get fish looking up.

Summer: Consistent mayfly and caddis hatches provide excellent dry fly opportunities.

Fall: Cooler temperatures and less pressure bring active fish and great streamer action.

A 4–6 wt rod is recommended, with a 9' 5 wt being a solid all-around choice for both dry fly work and heavier rigs. Whether you're picking apart seams with dries or swinging streamers through the bends, this peaceful stretch of the Lemhi offers a reliable and scenic place to cast a line.

For properties listed as "Community Adventures" there is the possibility that a limited number of other anglers can be on the property at the same time. Just a heads up, some of our spots have other leases that might have anglers casting their lines too. So, hit 'request to book' and we'll make sure to confirm the availability before you pack your gear!
We think it's important to mentor the next generation of anglers. Youth between the ages of 13 and 17 are 50% off for all fishing and small game when you reserve on the Infinite Outdoors app. However, kids 13-17 will need to have an Infinite Outdoors Membership. Youth 12 and under are free and do not need a membership but must follow all property rules.
No, most of our property listings are available to Infinite Outdoors Members without a pass. If you plan on fishing on a regular basis talk to our support team and see if a pass might make sense.

We can't guarantee you'll catch fish every time—fishing always comes with a bit of unpredictability due to factors like weather and fish behavior. However, we do everything we can to boost your chances! We offer information on local fly shops so you can get the best tips and gear recommendations. As for the size of the fish, it really depends on where you're fishing. We aim to connect you with spots where you have a good shot at landing some great catches, but it's all part of the Do-It-Yourself fly fishing adventure!
